Ja you see? Precisely what I was thinking and the primary reason as to why I choose the GTS manual (that and the smaller matter of me liking high performance SUV's with a manual transmission ). I love the current ML63 but that new facelift is ghastly which is essentially what stole my vote from the fab ML.

Well acc to the numbers posted here the ML pushed the time as the GTS so i guess the FL one would be even quicker?!

Well, the GT3 is a fab sportscar. Even if the Veyron (hideous thing) faster than the GT3 it will never be much of a sportscar compared to the latter.

Yup, my choice too . Only Porsche could pull off putting a manual in this segment - others would be too worried about poor sales to do it.

ML63;
Good straightline performance, and a elegant yet sporty exterior (imo).

Although I must say that I haven't examined the facelifted ML enough to give a proper opinion, the 6.3L 500+ hp AMG engine is enough for me here.

ML please

My point is that even if one is faster than the other that does not mean that the fastest is the most sporty.
